Full Calculator SuiteA mortgage is a secured loan used to finance the purchase of real estate. In Ontario, your home acts as collateral — meaning the lender holds a registered interest in your property until the loan is fully repaid. Most mortgages are amortized over 25 years, with terms renewing every 1–5 years.
lendsimpl works with A-lenders (major banks and credit unions), B-lenders (alternative lenders like Home Trust and Equitable Bank), and private mortgage lenders — giving you access to a full spectrum of financing options regardless of your credit, income type, or property situation.

Try it free"lendsimpl found us a rate 0.45% lower than our bank quoted. On a $750,000 mortgage, that's real money. The process was fast, honest, and available. We closed in 3 weeks."
"I'm self-employed and every bank said no. lendsimpl submitted my application to a lender I'd never heard of and got me approved with a fair rate within 48 hours. Genuinely life-changing."
"Renewal time came and I was about to just sign with my current bank. lendsimpl saved me over $6,000 over the next term by switching lenders. Wish I'd called sooner."
"First-time buyers — we had no idea what we were doing. lendsimpl walked us through everything, helped us understand the stress test, and got us pre-approved in one day. Couldn't recommend more."
"Bad credit from a difficult couple of years. lendsimpl was honest about our options, didn't judge us, and helped us into a home we could actually afford. The path they mapped out to refinance with an A-lender later was invaluable."
"I needed cash from my home equity for a renovation and wasn't sure if HELOC or refinance was better. lendsimpl modelled both scenarios, saved me on interest, and had everything sorted in 10 days."

10 expert answers about mortgages in Ontario.
Ontario's mortgage market is the most competitive in Canada, with over 50 lenders competing for your business — from the Big Five banks to credit unions, monoline lenders, B-lenders, and private mortgage corporations. A licensed mortgage broker acts as your advocate in this market, presenting your application to multiple lenders simultaneously and negotiating the best terms on your behalf. Unlike a bank, which can only offer its own products at its posted rates, a broker like lendsimpl has full market access and is paid by the lender you choose — not by you.
The Canadian mortgage system has several key mechanisms every borrower must understand. The federal stress test requires you to qualify at the higher of your contracted rate plus 2%, or 5.25% — regardless of what rate you actually receive. This protects borrowers from payment shock if rates rise. CMHC mortgage insurance is mandatory for down payments below 20%, adding 2.80–4.00% to your mortgage balance in exchange for lower rates from insured lenders. And the Bank of Canada's overnight rate directly influences variable mortgage rates, while bond yields drive fixed mortgage pricing — two very different rate drivers that a good broker helps you navigate.
The mortgage decision is one of the largest financial commitments most Canadians ever make. At lendsimpl, our FSRA-licensed brokers (Brokerage #13763) work exclusively for you — not the lender. We compare every product across our full network, model the total cost of ownership including penalties and portability, and provide transparent, unbiased advice. Whether you're buying your first home in Toronto, refinancing a property in Mississauga, or seeking private financing across Ontario, lendsimpl delivers a free, professional service that consistently outperforms what bank advisors can offer.
Our FSRA-licensed brokers compare 50+ lenders and recommend the best path for your situation. No hard credit pull. No obligation. Same-day response.
